None of these inspire confidence and Villa Maria is still looking for her first win though has been placed recently. LITTLE CAMACHO got her head in front at Down Royal in September and wasn’t beaten far when only fifth here last time. Tony McCann’s filly could go well again while course and distance winner Beau Satchel is back on a winning mark with an apprentice’s claim taken into account. Lappet is lightly-raced and worth a second glance now handicapping for the first time.
